Lung Cancer Disparities
Lung cancer disparities refer to the unequal impact of the disease on certain populations. In the United States, lung cancer disproportionately affects those of lower socioeconomic status and individuals from certain racial and ethnic backgrounds. Studies have found that there are discrepancies in lung cancer incidence and mortality based on these factors. Additionally, there are disparities in access to screening and care for individuals in certain populations. Understanding and eliminating these disparities is a major challenge in improving lung cancer outcomes and reducing the burden of this disease.
